Chapter 1335: Chapter 1335: Give Me a Satisfactory Answer
"However, if Miss Zora Hughes does get married, it would be totally justified, after all, youâve already signed the engagement papers, and the Hughes family has received the betrothal gifts. Everything is reasonable and legitimate."
After saying this, Xaviera Evans looked at Zora Hughes with a smile.
Zora was so frightened that her scalp went numb; she hid behind Lillian Hughes in fear, and sweat had soaked her back.
Steve Price quickly chimed in: "Madam is right! Mrs. Taylor, if this matter gets blown up, itâs the Brooke family who would lose face. Since youâve already given the betrothal gifts, if the Hughes family goes back on their word and refuse to marry their daughter to Mr. Taylor, wouldnât that mean theyâre looking down on you?"
Steve said with a cheap grin, "Our Madam is already married, so she definitely canât marry Mr. Taylor. Since Madam canât marry, Mrs. Taylor can only choose Zora. After all, she is Mrs. Lillian Hughesâs daughter, and sheâs still unmarried. No one is more suitable than her. If sheâs unwilling to marry, that would mean sheâs looking down on Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Taylor. If this gets out, what will people say about the Brooke family?"
Mrs. Taylor, listening to these words, showed anger in her eyes and eyebrows.
Xaviera Evans also echoed, "Thatâs right! You spent 2 billion dollars, and you didnât even take the bride back. When you return to Yittaland, people will definitely laugh at you!"
"Mrs. Taylor, you traveled all the way to Libanan and brought 2 billion dollars in betrothal gifts. The whole Brooke family must know that you are here to offer the engagement. If, by the time Mrs. Taylor goes back, you spent 2 billion dollars but didnât take the person back, what would the people in the family say?"
"They might say Mrs. Taylor is the mistress, but she got played by a small family. She lost face for the family and even lost a large sum of money..."
Mrs. Taylor was instantly enraged.
It was all because of Caleb Mamet!
If he hadnât appeared, she could have forcibly taken Xaviera Evans away, and no one would have found out. But now, not only could she not take Xaviera away, she also had to listen to these people mocking her.
However, Xavieraâs words made sense. If she spent 2 billion dollars and ultimately didnât get a wife for her son, then...
Mrs. Taylor hesitated for a moment before finally looking at Cory Hughes with a gloomy expression: "Mr. Hughes, youâve already accepted the 2 billion dollars in betrothal gifts. No matter what, someone must marry my son and return to Yittaland with us. If the Hughes family doesnât want to become enemies with the Brooke family, just hand over the person!"
Mrs. Taylor clenched her teeth, and by this point, she could only back down a step. This time she let Xaviera go, but sooner or later, Xaviera would have to pay the price for this! Since she married Caleb, she had to bear the corresponding risks.
Now that the Brooke family canât afford to tear their faces with Caleb, she has no reason to become enemies with Caleb. However, itâs harmless to make things difficult for Caleb.
How painful will it be for Caleb one day if he sees his beloved wife become a plaything for her son?
Itâs a pity that this plan didnât work out this time, but it doesnât matter. This time, Xaviera was just lucky, but she wonât be lucky every time. Sooner or later, she will fall into her hands.
Everyone in the Hughes family remained silent, but it was clear that Mrs. Taylor had run out of patience. She frowned unhappily: "Mr. Hughes, I give you five minutes. You must give me a satisfactory answer, or donât blame me for being rude."
Cory Hughesâs face was gloomy, and he looked at Zora somewhat hesitantly.
Zoraâs body went limp, her face as pale as paper. Mrs. Taylorâs words were very clear, forcing her to marry Wesley Taylor. If the Hughes family did not agree, the Brooke family would put all their efforts into suppressing the Hughes family, and then...
Why? At the beginning, it was Xaviera Evans who was going to get married, so why did it become her now?
"Zora, Zora, you must go to Yittaland with Mr. Taylor. In a while, your grandfather will come to see you. If the Hughes family can get through this difficult time, your grandfather will bring you back."
Zoraâs eyes were filled with horror. When she sent the photo to Mrs. Taylor at first, she didnât think that things would turn out like this in the end. She happened to hear about Mr. Taylorâs misdeeds, and she hoped that Xaviera would marry him and be tormented to death. But if she married him, there would be even less chance of survival.
Tears fell from her eyes like broken beads, and her vision had already been blurred by the tears. She rushed in front of Cory and grabbed his arm, crying and howling, "Grandpa! No! I canât marry him! I am your granddaughter! How can you..."
Jonas Hughes was panicked, and Lillian was so scared that she was crying.
Sebastian Legend grabbed Cory Hughesâs other arm and begged bitterly, "Cory, you canât let Zora marry! Zora has grown up by your side since she was a child. How can you bear to push her into the fire? She is so well-behaved and filial. Are you just going to sell her for 2 billion dollars? If she could be happy, it would be fine, but sheâll be tormented to death!"
